I confess to lifting these pictures straight from this great ADV Rider thread. They are too good not to post. For those who don’t know much about the early days of Moto GP and the significance of the early 2 stroke small cc bikes I highly recommend a book called “Stealing Speed”. It’s a well researched story of industrial espionage, spy vs spy and the end of WWII and German rocket science all rolled into one.

I met this chap earlyer this year when he was staying with us whilst displaying and racing his 50cc stuff at the Coupe d Moto Legende in Dijon France. All i can say is he was a lovely chap super keen to chat about everything and anything but super interesting when it came to 50cc bike’s even let us into the pits to take a look at some of his beauties first hand. Awesome bikes, nice bloke certainly a meeting I won’t forget in a long time.
